The leader of the British Nazi party, Colin Jordan, who emerged unrepentant from prison last week where he had served an 18 month term for offenses under the race relations act, informed the press today that he intended to launch a new national socialist party “on a broader basis than so far.” Mr. Jordan, who said that imprisonment had failed to alter his views, thought that changes that had taken place while he was jailed, particularly in the area of race relations, augured well for the establishment of a new racist party.

As Jordan came out of prison, his French-born former wife, Mrs. Francoise Jordan, was starting to serve an 18-month sentence following her conviction for conspiring to burn synagogues.
